    Squeegee kids fight back

    Sorry - we can't find that page
    http://www.cbc.ca/stories/2003/10/11/squeegee031011


    Should these poor kids be excluded from the dream of free enterprise? Breaking windshield wipers is a definate no-no but what is the big deal with kids washing your windshield and then asking for a donation?

    I had mine washed while in traffic in New York and the guy asked for some food. I gave him a can of tuna but he didn't seem to happy. They usually wash first and ask later playing the guilt trip game (that's what he did to me). But why not leave these kids alone unless they are damaging vehicles. Meanwhile the crooks on Wallstreet ripoff the public for millions and object when some poor kid tries to make an honest buck. What is the world coming to??

    Because he wanted money for booze. He can get food at a soup kitchen.

    Since when is panhandling either honest or work?

      He washes the windshield and the driver pays if he wants. What is wrong with that. It is a legitimate service.

        Then why'd he ask for food?

          It's only legitimate if the driver asks beforehand.

            But whenever possible you should give Squeegee people donations in food and other useful things. Because if you give them money they might just as DD said blow it on booze

              You don't get a very good response by asking for booze.

                You can't buy booze with food, if he wanted money he'd ask for it. He didn't look happy because it was a ****ing can of tuna.

                  I'm surprised that he didn't heave the can of tuna at your car..


                  Never, ever let the squeegee people even start doing your car.

                  In the same vein, don't give the homeless food generally because I've had it thrown back at me. It's not pleasant.

                      Booze contains calories! If he 'wasted' his money on booze he wouldn't starve.

                        Maybe he was happy about getting the tuna but unhappy that he didnt have a can opener

                          I gave a bottle of Glenfiddich to a tramp once. He was happy.

                            Give 'em food stamps. You can buy them if you feel a need to have them on hand. Or if you have time offer to buy them lunch.

                            If they refuse, then they want drugs or booze.

                            I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

                              I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.
